Bull. The Red Sox weren't the ones who stopped the Patriots. What do they care if the Patriots played in Boston? The Patriots would literally have only 2 or 3 home games taking place while baseball season was still going.Bob Kraft then tries to build a privately funded stadium in Southie but the Boston pols had an antipathy to Kraft and were puppets of the Red Sox who did not want another major league with a downtown stadium competing for fan obsession.
It was the South Boston neighborhood groups with their terrified-of-change-and-development attitude that stopped Bob Kraft. They are also the same people that stopped the Red Sox from building a stadium in the same area.
If they pols were puppets of the Red Sox, then the Red Sox would be playing in South Boston at this very moment. The pols are puppets to the uppity neighborhood groups who do everything they can to thwart any amount of development anyone suggests in this city.
